OTHER KICKING: Brit Framel averaged 44.0 per punt in a kicking period that started the scrimmage, including one 50-yarder. Edmiston had a 47-yard punt and Albrecht a 42-yarder in his first punt attempt of fall camp.

Framel also put all three of his kickoffs into the end zone and appears to have that job locked down heading into the opener.

BEATING THE HEAT: Temperature at the 8:30 a.m. start of the scrimmage was 90 degrees and 51 percent humidity, providing a heat index of 99.

The players were able to beat the heat somewhat after practice, thanks to organizer Hardy Edmiston and Glenn Murphree and his staff at Olde Tyme Grocery. They teamed to serve snowballs to the Cajun players out of Olde Tyme's portable snowball stand.

CATCHING UP: Defensive ends Tony Hills and Rodney Hardeway each had tackles for minus yardage in the scrimmage, Hardeway's coming on a sack. The twosome missed the first week of UL's fall drills on a suspension for undetermined violation of team rules, a suspension that carried over from the spring semester.
